Subject: CARNE, WILSON, 1763 ad for various medicines, etc. From: Elizabeth Russo Date: April 27, 2000 I am transcribing various ads and notices gleaned from the SC Gazette. Most of these are related in some way to one of my families. I will also post slave information as I go. Apologies in advance for any mis-reading of the words or letters [the print is tiny and smudged, and includes old-type letters.] Corrections/explanations welcome. For the following, DR. SAMUEL CARNE was the brother to my 7X grandfather; I'd like to know anything about his business partner, WILSON. Dr. CARNE was a loyalist and about the time of this ad was busily wrapping up business and selling off property in America. His brother, son, and wife apparently remained in America after his departure to and later death in England. From the October 29, 1763 issue of the SC Gazette: CARNE, WILSON, AND COMP.
